Commonwealth citizens with Ancestry visas (sometimes called ‘patriality) –
these visas are available to Commonwealth citizens with a grandparent born

to
50% of the time, either by working part-time (up to 20 hrs/week) throughout,
or by working full-time for 12 months and not working for the other 12
months.

However a working holidaymaker is not allowed to pursue his/her career or to
render professional services. This means that candidates are not allowed to
work as IT professionals, for example, while on a working holiday visa.

set up in business and are exempt from the usual investment requirements.

applications
to enter the UK in this capacity will often take several months to process,
and
are only viable for those who combine technical skills with business
experience.
